Joseon Royal Court Enamel Pin Set — King, Queen, Eunuch & Palace Maid | Korean History Collector Gift
Step inside the palace walls of Joseon — Korea's most celebrated dynasty. This set of four chibi enamel pins brings to life the King, Queen, Court Eunuch, and Palace Water Maid, each crafted with authentic details from traditional Korean court culture.
Coming soon in July.
Four guardians, one card.
After a lot of back and forth with the manufacturer, the backing card design is locked in!
If anyone's curious, I opened a small Etsy shop — happy to share the link if you ask, didn't want to just drop it here uninvited.
Hi r/PinCollecting!
Long-time admirer of the community, first time sharing my own work.
I've been working on a Korean mythology enamel pin collection called the "Korean Four Guardians" — inspired by the Gangseodaemyo tomb murals of the Goguryeo Kingdom (6th century CE, UNESCO World Heritage Site).
The four characters: 🐲 Cheongnyong — Blue Dragon of the East 🐯 Baekho — White Tiger of the West 🦅 Jujak — Vermilion Bird of the South 🐢 Hyeonmu — Black Tortoise of the North
Each holds a historically significant prop from Korean mythology: - Blue Dragon: Crystal orb (lens of truth) - White Tiger: Persimmon - Vermilion Bird: Fire orb (Hwayeom Boju) - Black Tortoise: Big Dipper orb
They all wear traditional Korean scholar hats (gat) from the Joseon era. Soft enamel, 38mm, gold plating. Would love to hear what the community thinks about the design direction! Any feedback welcome 🙏
